This won't be the first time the two will meet. Okada originally squared off against Ospreay back in RPW in 2015, which led to Okada (in storyline) inviting Ospreay to be a part of the Chaos stable, joining New Japan. This will be their second ever si⛦ngles bout against one another.

New Japan's anniversary show will take place on March 6 at the Ota Ward Gymnasium in Tokyo. It will mark their 4൩6th anniversary as a company following the split of the JWA in 1972.
